Japan Foundation’s Travelling Exhibition: Japanese Pottery

VOV.VN - The Japan Foundation’s travelling pottery exhibition entitled – The Rising Generation from Traditional Japanese Kilns – has opened at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum in Hanoi.

This exhibition introduces the works of a total of 35 artists active in seven major traditional kiln sites in Japan.

The artists differ in orientation, including some who carry on long traditions of pottery production while pursuing ever-richer standards in their craft and others who seek to create individualistic works exploring new forms. 

All are promising artists who will be leaders of the next generation in the ceramic arts in Japan. 

The theme of this exhibition focuses on ‘vessels,’ showing how Japan’s ceramic artists understand the function of vessels in pottery, and provides insight into the present situation and the future of Japanese pottery.

The traditional kiln sites represented are: Arita and Karatsu, Hagi, Bizen, Kyoto vicinity and Tamba, Kutani and Kanazawa, Seto and Mino, Tokyo vicinity and Mashiko.

The Japan Foundation is the Japanese Government’s cultural affiliate to promote international cultural exchange activities.

The exhibition runs through December 4 at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum, 66 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Hanoi.

Admission to the Exhibition is free.
